Coach Jim Dougherty: It’s been OK. It could have been better
and was rocky at times. Tuesday Pep Rally was awesome.

Erwin: How do you think the rest of the season will go?

Coach D: We still have a chance to finish the season strong.

Erwin: What is your favorite part about being a middle
school football coach?

Coach D: I really enjoy practices, but the games stress me
out.

Erwin: Is the Harris Middle School Football team the first
team that you have coached?

Coach D: (laughs) No! This is the 86th different
team from one sport or another that I have coached in my career. It seems like
I have been a coach my whole life. I have coached lots of different sports,
however football is my favorite.

Erwin: Thank you for your time.

Coach D: Thank you.

Jim Dougherty is the head coach of the Harris Middle School
football team and a 6th grade Social Studies Teacher.
